According to legend, a long time ago, at the Henghekou where Ganjiang River and Yuanhe River meet (now Sanhu Town Junior High School in Xingan County), there was an ancient temple-Baoan Temple. There are two tall orange trees at the entrance of the temple, which are both landscape trees and feng shui Long Mai. The local old watch regards it as a symbol of eliminating disasters and ensuring peace. At this point, the conversation is about to start. When Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, the three lakes were also called "sand lakes", which were barren sandbars and slowly moved to the residents. There is a saying here: * "Sheep skin comes first, then Nie Liaozhan." In other words, the first people to settle in Sanhu were Yang and Pi, followed by Nie and Liao. At that time, the Ganjiang River and Yuanhe River flooded for years, and the grain was not harvested. Coupled with the chaos, the people are poor and fleeing everywhere. Yang Pi's surname came to Husha Lake to seek peace, but it was difficult for him to stand up. They heard: "Yang (sheep) skin can't rot!" So, I held lanterns and torches to find someone named Xiao to settle in the lake. Who knows, contrary to expectations, the Xiao family who was found fell ill after not living for two years. Those who survived were too scared to settle in Hu Sha again. Someone threatened: "Yang (sheep) skin occupied Xiao (nitrate) and repaired the temple quickly. In order to ensure safety, people donated money and materials, and built the "Heianji" not far from Xinglinshan Temple. There are two monks living in the temple, one is called Fructus Aurantii and the other is called Fructus Aurantii Immaturus. They worked hard to cultivate two evergreen orange trees at the gate of the temple. Strangely, after a long time, the weather in Hu Sha was very good, and people lived and worked in peace and contentment. In the ripe season of oranges, oranges are bought and sold everywhere on the mainland in front of Baoan Temple, and people come and go in an endless stream. The other side of the river (that is, the gate of Baoan Temple) is crowded with merchant ships from Yuanzhou, Ganzhou, Jizhou and Ruizhou, so Hu Sha comes and goes, and business is very prosperous.
One day, an official ship from Yuanzhou docked at Henghekou, and Yuanzhou's wife Liu went ashore. Mrs. Liu, who had no life and no support, came to the "Baoan Temple" to worship the Bodhisattva and pray for the blessing of the gods. Mrs. Liu, who claimed to be a showgirl, came to the temple, but was moved by the handsome appearance of the great monk Fructus Aurantii, trying to show off her amorous feelings and seduce Fructus Aurantii. However, this honest monk is afraid that the leaves will fall and break his head. He was charitable, and when he saw that the meat had not moved, he called out to the young monk to be honest. Hearing the sound of bitter orange, Mrs. Liu hid her face and slipped out of the temple gate. Bitter orange closed his eyes and even called "Amitabha".
Mrs. Liu refused to give up, but Bajie got on the boat in front of her husband and falsely accused the monks in the temple of molesting her. Li Zhifu was furious. Immediately send someone to destroy the "Baoan Temple" and immediately tie the Fructus Aurantii and Fructus Aurantii Immaturus to two orange trees at the gate of the "Baoan Temple". A fire was set and the "Baoan Temple" was reduced to ashes. The orange tree was burned, and bitter oranges and bitter oranges died.
Strange to say, as soon as the two monks, Fructus Aurantii and Fructus Aurantii Aurantii, died, Mrs. Liu suddenly became seriously ill. She suffers from "abdominal distension, abdominal pain and diarrhea" all day long (according to Pharmacopoeia, Fructus Aurantii tastes bitter, slightly cold and nontoxic, and has the functions of promoting qi circulation, resolving phlegm and resolving hard mass. Indications: indigestion, phlegm, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation. . . . . . ")" bedridden. People in the government are like ants on hot bricks, seeking medical treatment everywhere is ineffective, and worshipping Buddha everywhere is ineffective. Mrs. Liu got what she deserved, and soon met the king of hell.
There are even weirder things. When Mrs. Liu died, Li Zhifu contracted the same disease as his wife. This frightened the magistrate Li and the officials of the Yuan Dynasty.
At this time, a ragged "crazy monk" came to the ruins of "Baoan Temple". He lifted up his eyes and saw rivers here, merchant ships coming and going, and merchants flowing endlessly. He couldn't help saying, "Ah, is this Shangzhou?" Facing the burnt orange tree, he was really miserable, so he folded his hands. I murmured: "Shangyu, Wu Chu and Shangzhou people, please lend a helping hand quickly when disaster strikes, don't delay …" Just as the words fell, two orange trees charred by the fire turned green again. The mad monk then roared off and headed for zhou yuan.
When the zhou yuan government saw this "crazy monk", it was afraid that grief would cause trouble. How dare it ignore the fact that the government and adults in Taiwan Province are suffering from incurable diseases? Who doesn't want to find out from the monk? So, this "crazy monk" walked into the home of Li See Zhifu, who was seriously ill in bed. He asked bluntly, "Have you ever been to Shangzhou?" "Shangzhou?" Li Zhifu has understood the three points in his heart, but he didn't say anything. The monk went on to say, "One year. At a certain time, you and your wife Liu went to Shangzhou. Burned my temple and hanged my two apprentices, Fructus Aurantii and Fructus Aurantii Immaturus. " "ah!" Magistrate Li hurriedly replied, "I have been to Shangzhou, and I have been there. I really shouldn't have listened to that woman and killed innocent people by mistake! I am guilty, I am guilty! " Li Zhifu regretted it, wept bitterly and begged again and again: "Please ask my predecessors to save my life." "It's not difficult for me to save you, but it depends on your sincerity to repent ..." Then the "crazy monk" brushed his hand away.
At this time, the magistrate knew that he deserved it, thought of what he had done in Shangzhou, and deeply felt sorry for the bitter oranges in Shangzhou. He thought, he really had a narrow escape. Before he died, he went to Shangzhou and pleaded guilty to Fructus Aurantii and Fructus Aurantii, which is a good thing. Thought of here, Li Zhifu ordered the destruction of the magistrate's yamen, carried him to the Shangguan boat, and took away the gold and silver. He shouted to the sky:
"I would rather lose the magistrate of Yuanzhou than go to Shangzhou to be a monk." Afterwards, I set sail for Shangzhou.
The official ship came to Shangzhou. Li Zhifu was carried ashore by several attendants, and several people knelt at the gate of the burned-out "Baoan Temple" and shouted, "Shangzhou Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, I am sorry for you two ... Before I die, I want to rebuild the" Baoan Temple ". Forgive me, I will make amends ... "I said, and climbed onto the orange. At this moment, two oranges suddenly fell down and hit Li Zhifu's head impartially. Li Zhifu touched his head with his hand and touched his hair. Then he shaved his head. "Why? Is the magistrate really going to cut his hair and become a monk? " "Hey, I'm not as good as a monk alive, and I want to be the soul of a monk after I die ... At this moment, Li Zhifu seems to hear someone talking to him," We are bitter oranges and bitter oranges, and we really have the sincerity to repent, so I'll save you. " "You don't remember old scores? "Li Zhifu asked eagerly." As long as you turn over a new leaf ""Is there really such a kind person in the world? " "If you don't believe me, if you cut the orange, you will know that we are sincere ... Li Zhifu is skeptical. He asked someone to cut the orange and saw that the pulp was chrysanthemum-shaped. Although the crosscutting is straight, its core remains unchanged. Ah! That's strange, orange fruit is straight and United. Does orange fruit mean bitter orange brothers? Is the incarnation of the bitter orange brothers? Do the bitter orange brothers really not forget their enemies? Really save my life? Li Zhifu held the cut orange fruit in his hand, put it next to his nose, took a few deep breaths of the aroma of orange fruit, and his body relaxed by more than half. Breathe a few more times and people can stand up. "ah! Fairy fruit! Fairy L is a bitter orange brother in Shangzhou who saved me! "
Li Zhifu was ecstatic. The next day, the "Baoan Temple" began to be rebuilt. Li Zhifu made a wish while busy arranging the reconstruction of the "Safety Temple".
Don't forget to cut the orange to absorb the fragrance. Not satisfied with the faint fragrance, he can temporarily eradicate the root cause of the disease, so he simply cut the orange fruit, boiled it in a pot and swallowed the juice and residue together. Soon, the "Baoan Temple" was rebuilt, and Li Zhifu's illness was cured at the same time. Since then, Li Zhifu has become the "monk of Guangji" in the "Baoan Temple".
Yuanzhou magistrate became a monk in Shangzhou and became a "security temple". The anecdote spread quickly. In particular, the legend that "the fruit of immortality" can cure incurable diseases has attracted countless people from all walks of life to ask for "the fruit of immortality". "Monk Guangji", like his dharma name, has become the embodiment of Guang Huimin's trifoliate orange and trifoliate orange. In order to commemorate the bitter orange of the big monk and the bitter orange of the little monk, Guangji Shang said to everyone: "This kind of' immortal fruit' is bitter orange, and the little one is bitter orange. Yes, Fructus Aurantii and the specific medicine of Fructus Aurantii Immaturus are very effective. They were once called "elixir" by imperial doctors. Later, the news spread to the capital, and when the sage got the news, he passed it on, so that "Shang and Zhou accumulated shells" to pay tribute to the court (Zhao's "Bin Tuilu" in the Song Dynasty recorded: "Ten catties of orange merchants paid tribute to the emperor"). The supply of bitter orange is in short supply, and the holy family has to pay tribute, causing tension. Therefore, oranges are always picked and processed before maturity every year.
Since then, the production of Fructus Aurantii has developed year by year, and the method ball made of fresh orange young fruit by hand cutting and drying has been passed down to this day. This is a precious medicinal material-Shangzhou Fructus Aurantii, which enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad.
